You Need Some Help Sleeping!
Sleep is precious - it is peaceful, relaxing, and recharges our batteries. Or does it? Many, many individuals have trouble sleeping and for most it is an easy fix. Looking at your answers, it seems just a few changes could drastically improve your sleep quality - such as setting a routine bedtime and wake-up time, which helps tenfold when it comes to your body rest during certain hours. If you have pets, try to keep them off the bed - they can be a huge distraction and often don't need or want a solid night's sleep all the way through like us humans. The absolute best way to ensure a better night's sleep, however, is to separate yourself from electronic devices: Silence your phone and put it out of reach, eliminate "falling asleep to TV", and definitely don't settle into bed with a laptop/tablet - All of this really whacks with your melatonin production and fools your brain into keeping you awake for much longer than if you were reading a book or listening to quiet, soothing music. In the same vain, try not use your bed space for anything other than sleep or intercourse. This is an often overlooked mistake that can really mess with your subconscious ability to relax in bed. Sweet dreams!
You seem to be an average sleeper, which shouldn't be taken for granted! There is, however, room for improvement that could maximize your health during both day and night hours. From your answers, it seems just a few changes could drastically improve your sleep quality. If you're a napper, take short naps - 30 minutes or less. Long naps keep you from being tired when it comes to bedtime, which can really whack sleep hours out of alignment. Other vices, such as smoking, caffeine, and alcohol all really mess with your body's ability to sleep. Even eating meals late in the evening can really impact restful sleep, so try to eat dinner as early as possible (and if you get hungry before bed, eat a healthy, light snack if you have to).
We have good news for you - You're doing it right! Judging by your results on this test, you are doing a lot to help yourself sleep at night and feel well-rested during the day. For something that is such a huge part of life, sleep sure can be hard to achieve. However, it really seems as though you've got yourself covered most of the time. Remember to stay away from electronic devices at night, set a routine sleep schedule, and take power naps whenever you need them.
Color us impressed! Judging by your results on this test, you are doing an incredible amount to help yourself sleep at night and feel well-rested during the day. This not only results in a better night's rest, but in a much higher quality of living and overall health! For something that is such a huge part of life, sleep sure can be hard to achieve, so you definitely shouldn't take this success lightly! Sweet dreams!
